Making (or emulating) a "D-Pad" on a touch-screen; virtual d-pad
I asked this on Game Development:
With the proliferation of touch based devices, many lacking a true D-Pad, I’m wondering if anyone has any resources on how to emulate a D-Pad on a touch screen? I’m specifically interested in XNA and/or Android code examples.

There is an XNA sample of touch thumbsticks here
I would reiterate that a dpad is unlikely to be the right interface for a touch screen like device.
Something like what epic has done with Infinity Blade for the iPhone may give you inspiration Movie Link
